The Sun is behind the Earth, illuminating a thin crescent. This low-light shot, taken by Reid Wiseman using a Nikon D5, shows auroras over the poles, city lights, and the glow of the atmosphere.

And yes, there are stars!

They won't ever care about any proof. If some proof could convince them, it would have already, there are tons of them.

Anything that contradicts their model is simply labeled as "fake". AI will probably make it worse.

I hadn't seen the CSA one, I'll set that one up on my wall display. The fan-made one seems to have the wrong data (it's significantly ahead of where the mission actually is in both MET and distance) at least on my machines.

The amount of light captured is thanks to the wide open aperture (f/4), which also made details blurry, and the insanely high sensitivity setting (ISO 51200), which put a ton of noise over the whole image, and made a lot of stars indistinguishable from aberrant pixels 😞

as a photography nerd this makes me a little bit sad, especially since the settings were manual

That level is still far above our usable atmosphere. It is easy to see how that thin layer can easily be filled with human generated green house gas and pollution. Its like we are the fish swimming in our own tank of waste, hoping the filter system does not break down. πŸ™‚
